Ouch.
No Parole

The convicted mastermind behind the world's largest online narcotics emporium has been sentenced by a federal judge to two terms of life in prison and three lesser sentences, USA Today reports.
The judge also ordered Ross Ulbricht, 31, to forfeit $184 million dollars. The website made over $187 million before it was shut down in 2013.
The government estimated that roughly $1.2 billion in illegal drug transactions took place on Silk Road.

And what, exactly, incentive does he have to cooperate with the feds in locating that money?

Zero. But, the feds will begin the process of seizing every single thing that man has ever touched.

I could see one life sentence, but TWO? that's a bit harsh IMO

Didn't his journal say he paid to have someone killed?

Lemme see if I got this straight. He set up an internet market for illegal drugs, weapons, and child porn. He did it for money. Lots of it.
Frick him.
Frick him.
